Nagios is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your network, and
to email or page you when a problem arises or is resolved. Nagios runs on a
Unix server as a background or daemon process, intermittently running checks on
various services that you specify. The actual service checks are performed by
separate "plugin" programs which return the status of the checks to Nagios.
This package contains the basic plugins necessary for use with the Nagios
package. This package should install cleanly on almost any RPM-based system.
